I just did a buildworld on one of our database servers. On reboot, PostgreSQL refused to come up, complaining of a too small SHMMAX. After some digging, it looks like kern.ipc.shmmax had been set to 0, even though my kernel configuration has it much higher. To work around this, I just the sysctl to the proper value, and postgres now starts properly.
